St Johnstone 1-0 Aberdeen: Match Report

23 August 2014 05:01

Steven MacLean went from villain to hero with the winning goal for St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park.

The Saints striker hit the outside of the post when clean through on goal in the first half and Gary McDonald also missed a golden chance for the Perth side before Dons defender Andrew Considine hit the bar with a header.

There was little between the teams in a disjointed second half but with 10 minutes remaining MacLean was much more efficient in front of goal when he was set up by Michael O'Halloran, steering the ball low past Jamie Langfield from 12 yards to seal a 1-0 home win.
